TC,
I met the author and got a copy of the book up at the Bamboo fair this year.
Having trouble getting through it. Maybe to deep for my little brain. Wasn’t what I was hopping for.

I’ll have to get it from you and read it.

Has any single fish ever generated so much coverage as the mis-named Benson (who was a “she”)? Maybe Ahab’s white whale.

I stand by the Underground’s original statement: Brits are crazy.

I want to dispel rumors that I died in England last month. Although I did play a character named “Benson” on TV with deadpan delivery, I am not and have never been, a dead fish.

Thank you.
